Black Boxes Around Trees

The place to ask for help or solve each others technical issues and discuss hardware

Postby FJFlyer » Sat Aug 30, 2008 6:11 pm

I keep getting black boxes around my trees at all airports. I also get a black box over the default C172's registration, I'm not sure about other aircraft.

I've done a complete re-install of FS9, but it still stays the same.

All help is appreciated!

I had this on my old computer, it was due (I think) to having an unusual graphics card. What are your system specs? smile.gif

Nope, but I did install Airport Environment Upgrade

320 GB Hard Drive
1 GB RAM
GeForce 4 MX Intergrated Graphics Card


I've never had this problem before, at the moment I think it's a problem with the graphics card...
I've download the latest drivers for the card but to no avail... dry.gif

Oh, so the trees were fine before you installed Airport Environment? Or have they always been boxed-in?

I don't think it's down to that though because I did fly a flight with AEU and it was fine... smile.gif

However, after that flight I downloaded the latest driver for my graphics card, I felt it was making my performance worse so I "rolled back" to my previous (original) driver. Then the black boxes started showing... dry.gif

Here's a list of things that are effected by the black boxes:

-Trees
-Any words on screen have black boxes around them, e.g. ATC, "shift-z", "The Parking Brakes Are Set, Press Period To Release" etc. etc.
-Registration on some planes
-The Sun
-Lens Flare Hexagons
-Aircraft shadows
